Chapter 587: Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s Transformation

The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s original length was only about 15 centimeters long.
Its slender body had a dark red metallic luster, and strange dark green markings with a cruel and hideous beauty were hidden underneath its body.
Suddenly, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s back became illusory.
This illusionary effect wasn’t because its wings vibrated too fast for Lin Yuan to see its actions clearly. Instead, it was because the dark red and green markings on the bee’s body were constantly fading.
It was as though the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was peeling off the color inside its body bit by bit.
Immediately afterward, the bee’s metallic color intensified.
This strong metallic luster made the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee appear transparent.
At that moment, it seemed to have become the metallic surface of a mirror.
Lin Yuan could still see the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s existence even though his focus was on the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
However, its presence was undoubtedly greatly reduced.
Lin Yuan thought, If the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee flies amidst the flowers formed by Red Thorn’s child ramets, its mirror-like body will reflect the flowers, allowing it to hide perfectly in the flowers as an assassin waiting to kill its target.
Moreover, the two bee needles on the bee’s forelimbs had also become more slender.
The tip of the sharp needles now had a penetrating cold light. Obviously, its penetration ability and sharpness had been greatly improved.
Nevertheless, in Lin Yuan’s eyes, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s biggest transformation had occurred in the two stingers behind its tail.
Its stingers had shortened significantly, appearing far less threatening than they had before.
However, Lin Yuan noticed that the bee’s two stingers had each become sectioned into two upon close inspection.
His eyebrows raised slightly. Then, he waved his hand lightly.
The amber-button-shaped Source Sand by his wrist landed on the ground, transforming into tumbling quicksand.
This quicksand accumulated at Lin Yuan’s feet, protecting him like a guard.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s evolution was now complete. It had become a Platinum/Legend fey.
After a moment’s thought, Lin Yuan ordered, “Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, use your exclusive skill, Two-Strike Kill, against this wall of sand.”
He pointed in the direction of his feet before immediately shaping the Close Guard Sand into a wall.
The Source Sand had already completely digested the Mountain-Containing Embryo.
However, after digesting the Mountain-Containing Embryo, the Source Sand had not evolved to Fantasy III as expected.
It appeared that to evolve the Source Sand to Fantasy III in the future, it needed to undergo a huge transformation.
Lin Yuan still needed to exert another round of effort.
Nevertheless, when the Source Sand had evolved to Fantasy II, Lin Yuan had been delighted upon seeing the Close Guard Sand that it had spawned.
It could be said that in terms of defensive ability, the Close Guard Sand was second only to his four wings of Day and Night Spirit Silver.
Upon receiving Lin Yuan’s order, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee did not fly toward the sand wall as it would have done before. Instead, its tail lifted, and two earth-shattering sounds immediately echoed.
Lin Yuan saw two short and small stingers appear in the Close Guard Sand’s wall.
He immediately looked at the bee’s tail and saw that each stinger now only had one section left of the original two.
After its attacking blow, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was obviously quite weakened.
However, under Lin Yuan’s gaze, the one-section stingers again grew until there were two sections.
After looking up from the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s tail, Lin Yuan was shocked to find that the central area of the Close Guard Sand’s wall had disappeared.
It had turned into a stream of liquid.
Clearly, the poison in those two stingers had disintegrated the Source Sand’s simple elemental body.
The Source Sand was now Gold I/Fantasy II and about to evolve to Gold I/Fantasy III, while the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was a Platinum I source-type lifeform.
In terms of grade and quality, the Source Sand was stronger.
Furthermore, when Lin Yuan had been cultivating the Source Sand, an elemental source-type item, he had made it follow the defensive route.
Even so, the Close Guard Sand containing high-purity ferromanganese still disintegrated into liquid.
If the stingers stung a body of flesh and blood, one could only imagine the effects…
Previously, in the Star Web battle, Lin Yuan had commanded the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to use Two-Strike Kill.
However, at that time, while Lin Yuan had discovered Two-Strike Kill’s destructive power, he had uncovered its limitation at the same time.
The latter being that Two-Strike Kill required the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to fly close to the target and pierce its two tail stingers into the same position on it.
In combat, this could be said to be an extremely demanding requirement.
Nonetheless, as the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had evolved to Platinum, its Two-Strike Kill had also become more flexible.
Lin Yuan used True Data to scan the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s attributes.
[Fey Name]: Acid Corrosion Queen Bee
[Fey Species]: Vespidae/Bactrocera
[Fey Grade]: Platinum (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Source/Poison
[Fey Quality]: Legend
Abilities:
[Wing Stealth]: Flaps its wings at high frequency. The fast-flapping reflective wings allow the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to be stealthy.
[Bone-Penetrating Stingers]: The super-hard and impactful rotating stingers rapidly cause deep injuries.
[Parasitic Pupa]: The stingers on the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s forelegs can release a fast-hatching parasitic pupa into the target’s body while stinging.
[Acid-Swallowing Larvae]: With sufficient acid, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee will hatch numerous Acid-Swallowing Larvae that can be used as food for it to rapidly restore its consumed energy and venom reserves. At the same time, the Acid-Swallowing Larvae will replicate part of the Acid-Swallowing Queen Bee’s mother genes so that if the latter dies, the former can activate the genes to become the new mother.
[Acid Corpse Poison Bee]: A large amount of acid in the body is consumed to produce an Acid Corpse Poison Bee, which will reside in the body of a dead lifeform or dimensional lifeform and control the latter’s actions. These Acid Corpse Poison Bees will turn into Poison Silkworm Pupae again if the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee does not activate them.
Exclusive Skill:
[Two-Strike Kill]: The two abdominal stingers contain two different kinds of acid-corrosion venom. If the abdominal stingers hit the same part of the target, the two types of venom will instantly disintegrate the target’s part.
Lin Yuan had initially planned to look at the Platinum Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s newly-comprehended abilities.
However, he was drawn instead to its Gold ability, the Acid-Swallowing Larvae.
